Bars

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Bars scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Fruit Products (Vegan Chocolate (Evaporated Cane Juice, Chocolate, Non-Alcoholic Liquor, Non-Dairy Cocoa Butter)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 8,001 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
